Having just watched The Other Boleyn Girl, I am amazed at the drama and complete lack of morals the involved parties displayed. Geez, and I thought our political system has issues...
Lessons I learned from The Other Boleyn Girl
1. Committing adultery will not only send you to hell, it'll lead to you and your sister sleeping with the same man, you sleeping with your brother, and the loss of your head... They should use Anne Boleyn in high school health classes as a shining beacon of why you should remain abstinent.
2. Violence against women is fine if said women "seduced" you into breaking your ties with the Catholic Church.
3. Bastard children are perhaps lucky to be unclaimed by their psychologically damaged father.
4. And of course, never underestimate the power of women... no male heir could have done what Elizabeth did so powerfully for 45 years.
*Disclaimer: Wikipedia does not paint the picture of such a conniving power hungry wench as hollywood does. Ok, really the movie was interesting and it prompts you to seek out the 5 facts that you know hollywood spun a 2 hour movie out of. (dang it, i know i'm not supposed to end sentences with prepositions but I'm too tired to rewrite it... goodnight)
